Now, in conjunction with an exhibition at the Columbus Museum of Art, Wild Things Are Happening: The Art of Maurice Sendak, 248 pages of unpublished sketches, storyboards and paintings shed light on how he was able to draw the wild and wonderful with such perception. I refuse to cater to the bullshit of innocence… I am trying to draw the way children feel.” Basically self-taught, Sendak got his start looking outside the windows of his Brooklyn home, drawing kids at play, and those sketchbooks became the foundation of his later work. Unapologetic, the author Maurice Sendak was firm. When the book was released, many psychologists criticized the glorification of Max’s behavior, not to mention their fear of traumatizing images.
On the other hand, those same youngsters were probably clamoring for another round of Where the Wild Things Are, where a defiant Max has a tantrum and then proceeds to travel to his own, more unsettling fantasies. The result is this fabulous collector's edition panoramic print presenting Sendak's entire painting, as opposed to having to see it printed with the gutter of the book in the centre of the image.Ĭopyright 1963 printed on reverse.“Goodnight stars, Goodnight air, Goodnight, noises everywhere.” Concluding Goodnight Moon, those hushed, quietly famous last words promise a peaceful end of the day for sleepy, stressed parents, offering comforting reassurance to caregivers that all’s right in their child’s world, a neatly wrapped Amen. This gorgeous print was published in 1971 as an edition specially re-photographed from the original artwork held at the Sendak Archives at the Rosenbach Museum & Library. The book has been adapted into an animated short, an Opera, and a motion picture, and the picture book itself is still in print over 50 years after it's initial publication. Written and illustrated in 1963 by Maurice Sendak, 'Where The Wild Things Are' is one of the most popular picture books ever published.
